How to properly launch tmux on terminal startup?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I've used this snippet to launch tmux when the terminal is launched:
# TMUX startup
if command -v tmux>/dev/null; then
[[ ! $TERM =~ screen ]] && [ -z $TMUX ] && exec tmux
fi
But with this I can't exit tmux without the terminal screen being closed too.
I've tried:
Ctrl + b :detach
exit
And looking for the PID and killing it. All those methods close the terminal too.
How should I configure tmux to start when launching the terminal but still being able to close it without the terminal closing? Any tips are appreciated!
command-line bash shortcut-keys bashrc tmux

I've just tried and replacing the snipped I used with justtmuxworks, but I get a:sessions should be nested with care, unset $TMUX to force. I've also tried leaving the snipped I used as it is and adding atmuxat the end of the~/.bashrcbut then detaching still exits the terminal.

The problem is the exec command. As explained here, exec will replace the current shell with whatever you tell it execute. So you don't have a shell that is running tmux, you just have tmux and therefore exiting it will also exit the terminal.
Just remove the exec and it should work as expected:
if command -v tmux>/dev/null; then
[[ ! $TERM =~ screen ]] && [ -z $TMUX ] && tmux
fi
